Detailed Solution

The given line is 3x-2y+6=0

This line meets the X- axis at A-2,0 and the above line cuts the Y- axis at B0,3

The radius of the required circle is 

   r=AB =4+9 =13

The center of the circle is A-2,0

The equation of the circle having cetne at A-2,0 and radius r=13 is 

x+22+y2=13x2+y2+4x-9=0

(or)

meets x-axis put y=0 then A=(-2, 0) meets y-axis then  x=0 then B(0, 3) r=AB=9+4=13 so circle is (x+2)2+y2=13 x2+y2+4x-9=0
